Hezbollah claims attack on Israeli soldiers near Israeli border

Hezbollah has claimed to have carried out a drone strike on Israeli soldiers in al-Marj, near the border with Israel.

In a statement on Telegram, the group said the attack had injured an unidentified number of people.

The attack is the latest in a series of cross-border assaults amid ratcheting regional tensions following the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned that Israel should expect a "real response" to the attack.
